Joanna Daniel Poet Terza Rima

Lord Jesus Christ, My Joy

Christ, the Lord of all tomorrows
Lived a holy life of true worth
Died for me, the Man of sorrows

Angels proclaimed His virgin birth
The wise men came in faith to see
Messiah, king of all the earth

His love was shown on Calvary
When He paid the penance for sin
He cried and died for you and me

This woebegone world we live in
We need His all-sufficient grace
The wiles of the devil to win

The hope of His return we face
Giving us joy none can replace.
